Well, personally, i find it a little harder to judge someone's acting ability(voice acting) when you can't understand what they are saying, i can't tell what words are being emphasized, and the sentence structure is totally different from the subtitles, so that doesn't help either. the only thing i can honestly judge a foregin voice actors acting ability on is there tone of voice, and whether it matches the mood. I think this might be another reason why people tend to be more critical of english dubs, it is much easier to criticize acting when its in your own language.paizuri wrote: This isn't to say that there aren't bad japanese voice actors, but the ratio of good japanese voice actors to english voice actors seems to favor the japanese (in my opinion).
Now, just saying all Dubs suck is very bias, and very wrong. there are many great English Dubs, but i can also think of some very bad ones as well. Personally i think it always depends on the anime, some will always be better in Japanese, while others will be better with the Dub!
You should read up and see what the original language was that the movie was created for. IT'S NOT what you or any other uninformed person would think it to be.
